2019 Has a Nice Ring to It

We're already near the end of day 2 of the new year.  Time flies....

So far, here's what 2019 looks like.


That's good for now.  We'll dress it up a little better after we get used to it.  But so far, so good.

Not much on the agenda yet.

Well, there's that long-postponed cataract surgery on my good eye.  I get measured for the lens tomorrow.  The actual surgery will be sometime later this month.  I'm a little nervous because of my last experience with eye surgery.  I've only got one to lose.  Should I become the '1' in 10,000 again, finding a 'dark place' to take a nap won't be hard.  And I'll be pretty upset.

We've pretty much got our Christmas decorations put away.  The last thing is the 9' artificial tree.  We plan to bag it up, lights and all, and roll it to the garage elevator and into the attic.  If it goes as planned, putting up the Christmas Tree will be as simple as riding an elevator. 

It's Judy's idea, and it goes back to the 1980's.  She even wants a Christmas Tree Closet to be designed into all houses and apartments.  Yes, totally dedicated to the Christmas Tree.  But if someone doesn't want an artificial tree, they can use the closet to store the ornaments.  She's got it all figured out.  Now lets see if it works.  Here are some photos showing the 9' tree going into the attic.









It worked!

We've lived here in Terra Mariae for 13 months.  And we've taking a real liking to it and the residents here.  They are friendly and comfortable to be around.  That's what we were looking for when we moved here from Texas.  They can't run us off now.  This is 'Home.'

Happy New Year
